Mike Phillips - British and Irish Lions backs in pictures

There are many distinctions you can make between Mike Phillips and Gavin
Henson. They are both Welsh, partial to fake tan and hair gel, dated a Welsh
pop star, played for Wales, Lions and the Ospreys, and have at some point in
their career been banned by their clubs for inappropriate behaviour. The
difference is that Phillips is still considered to be one of the world’s
best players in his position, whereas Henson has dropped off the radar
somewhat. Aggressive, physical and a Test match player to the bone, Phillips
will fight to the last in a bid to hang onto the Lions No 9 jersey he made
his own in South Africa four years ago.
